So I decide to use my new Pampered Chef very fancy pitcher that stirs by pulling this handle up and down that I just got. What's new I'm in my own world doing many things at once. I start the process of making tea in the coffee maker (strange but it works and I don't know why for Heavens sake I don't just use the tea make but the coffee maker is always on the counter EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER DRINK COFFEE EVER). I am playing with the littlest and giving him almost my full attention while going through the motions. Hardly paying attention to what I'm doing I fill the glass pot all the way up with water and pour it into the coffee maker. I put the tea bags in. I fill the pitcher half with ice and two scoops of sugar and walk away.
The littlest and I play in the living room, practicing walking around the room having lots of fun. I'm thinking I'm pretty thirsty and can't wait to have a glass of tea from my NEW PC pitcher. I'm too la dee dah aren't I? I'm so NOT. Anyway, after about twenty minutes, I go over to finish the process and discover, there's no tea! I was confused for a second, where is the tea? Where is the water? Then I thought back, "Oh, I didn't even fill the carafe with water yet what a doh doh" So I go to the sink and fill the carafe again with water (please note above paragraph where I already took this step) and walk over to the coffee maker, open the lid and again only halfway paying attention, start pouring (more) water into the resevoir. Suddenly I am jolted into being fully aware and present in the moment as water comes gushing out from the resevoir and all over the counter, all over my feet, all over everywhere! What is going on I say to myself? And I look into the resevoir and then it hits me.......I already poured water into this damn thing! Then I look at the coffee maker, trying to assess what could be wrong and I realize as my eyes follow the cord from the coffee maker to the outlet that the damn coffee maker is not even plugged in. Yes, it didn't need water, I had already done THAT, it needed electricity.
Be very very afraid. My brain and it's power has diminished my friends. It totally has. What more can I say? And to my utter dismay, the tea was not even good. All that for what? Stop laughing Daniel!

You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
